Collins: Palin Pick "Exciting"

The junior senator praised the selection of the staunchly pro-life governor and Pat Buchanan fan as her party's vice presidential nominee:

Palin’s lack of experience--she has been governor for less than two years and was a mayor in an Anchorage suburb before that--is not a concern, Collins said.

UPDATE: It appears that Susan Collins and Sarah Palin have something in common. (Context here. And here.)
